Book Description

foreword by Vipin Kumar

Knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD) deals with the problem of extracting interesting associations, classifiers, clusters, and other patterns from data. The emergence of network-based distributed computing environments has introduced an important new dimension to this problem--distributed sources of data. Traditional centralized KDD typically requires central aggregation of distributed data, which may not always be feasible because of limited network bandwidth, security concerns, scalability problems, and other practical issues. Distributed knowledge discovery (DKD) works with the merger of communication and computation by analyzing data in a distributed fashion. This technology is particularly useful for large heterogeneous distributed environments such as the Internet, intranets, mobile computing environments, and sensor-networks.

When the data sets are large, scaling up the speed of the KDD process is crucial. Parallel knowledge discovery (PKD) techniques addresses this problem by using high-performance multiprocessor machines. This book presents introductions to DKD and PKD, extensive reviews of the field, and state-of-the-art techniques.

Book Description

The classic story of an aimless teenager, a demanding father,
and aspirited horse -- now a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox

A daydreamer and a time waster, young Ken McLaughlin spends his days on his family's Wyoming ranch with his head in the clouds, surrounded by endless blue skies, wide-open spaces, and beautiful horses. To his brusque, practical father, the boy is an enigma and a disappointment. Then one day, Ken's life is filled with new purpose when he finds Flicka, a magnificent filly as wild as she is fast. Though the strong bond between boy and horse only fuels his father's disdain, Ken's growing love for his friend Flicka is changing him -- leading a once-aimless young man down the path to responsible adulthood, forging a new respect and understanding between father and son, and inspiring a fierce loyalty that nearly costs Ken his life.

A horse, a boy, and a family.......2007-04-10

I have to give this book 5 stars. Mary O'Hara wrote an incredibly beautiful story about a struggling family. Many of the details of the story are so true to life. As an adult reading this story, I found the details about the parents to be more interesting than the story of the horse and the boy. O'Hara really understands the concerns of a parent for a struggling child and it's very true to life in the book. Many important issues are touched upon in this book too; responsibility for our domestic animals, love for people and animals, doing our duty in our every day life are all there with out being mushy and sentimental. O'hara also paints a vivid picture of Wyoming and old-time ranch life. It makes me wish it was still like that, so I could visit it. This is another great book for a read aloud family time.

My Friend Flicka .......2007-01-15

This is a very good book. My granddaughter really enjoyed it.

Surprise! A clinical description.......2006-02-19

I am in the middle of lstening to this book. Its detailed descriptions of ranch life and horses are quite compelling. But what surprised me was the absolutely accurate description of a boy with ADD. This book was written some two decades before attention deficit disorder gained anyone's attention, but O'Hara's descriptions of Ken's behavior are absolutely consistent.

And then O'Hara answers the question of what to do about the condition: give the kid something he really wants to do and stand back. Of course, it helps that Ken has two wise and good-hearted parents; but then, maybe that is the start to solving most problems that children have.

A fine book on many levels, and a fine companion on the road for adult and child.

A COMMANDING NARRATION OF A CLASSIC.......2006-01-26

Although he made his audio book debut just two readings ago, stage, screen and television actor Michael Louis Wells is in full command of the metier with his narration of the classic My Friend Flicka. Many will remember the story as a film with Roddy McDowall, as a TV series or as a current film. Wells is on a par with all of the actors who have undertaken bringing this touching tale to life. The reason for the story's many incarnations is obvious - it is one of our best-loved books and well deserves its place among others that are enjoyed from generation to generation, such as Treasure Island and Mutiny on the Bounty.

Pivotal to O'Hara's story is Ken and his seeming laissez faire attitude. Where his mind is his father, Rob, certainly doesn't know. He's a young boy who would much rather just look out a window than study his arithmetic. He should have studied because his report card is so poor that he's doomed to repeat a grade. Rob undoubtedly wonders whether he'll even catch on the second time around.

Their home is Wyoming's Goose Bar Ranch and Rob is working hard to make a go of it. He doesn't need a son who seems given to daydreams. Then, along comes Flicka, a beautiful chestnut filly, with a wild streak inherited from her sire. Ken is certain he can tame Flicka, and so begins the unforgettable relationship between a boy and his horse.

O'Hara wrote a follow-up to her story, Thunderhead, but it never achieved the popularity of My Friend Flicka, a timeless story to be enjoyed over and over again.

- Gail Cooke

Simply wonderful!.......2005-08-27

On the Goose Bar Ranch in Wyoming, between the World Wars, former Army captain Rob McLaughlin and his Eastern blue-blood wife, Nell, are raising two sons and an ever-growing herd of thoroughbred horses. Rob, a stern but loving father, doesn't know what to do with younger son Ken. The boy daydreams constantly, and for that reason just failed to be promoted at his boarding school. Why should Rob give small Ken a colt of his own, as he already has older son Howard, when Ken can't do anything that demonstrates he's responsible enough to be trusted? Yet a colt is what Ken wants more than anything else in the world. Until he finds out what happens to male horses when they're two years old - after which he decides he'd rather have a filly.

Not just any filly, though. Flicka, born to the half-wild mare called Rocket. Flicka is faster already than her sire, the ranch's stud horse Banner, and Ken believes he'll be able to train Rocket's "bad blood" out of the yearling. Rob thinks his son is (to use his word for it) dumb, for a lot of reasons that now include choosing this filly that Rob is sure will turn out to be just as "loco" as her dam. Untrainable, and downright dangerous to those who try to handle her.

This novel is a perfect example of the type of children's classic that, when read by adults, proves to have depths and layers its target audience never perceives. I know I read it as a young girl, and enjoyed it as both a good "horse story" and coming of age tale. But in reading it again now, I was amazed by the detailed and multi-faceted characters of Rob and Nell. Their love story is one of the most interesting I've read, because the author not only captures the tensions between these two very different people - she also captures the way that raising their children, who are (for better or worse!) a blending of those differences, affects their relationship. No wonder this book is still in print more than 60 years after it was first published. Simply wonderful!

The first book in a great equine trilogy.......2006-05-23

Even though I find it hard to believe that Flicka and her young master, Ken spent the night in a mountain stream and survived, the rest of the book seems utterly true. The author, Mary O'Hara wrote an autobiography called, "Flicka's Friend" which I'll have to read, just to discover how much of the "My Friend Flicka" trilogy is taken from her life.

Two stories intertwine in this book: the story of Nell and Rob McLaughlin's marriage and their struggle to keep their Goose Bar ranch solvent; and the story of their youngest son, Ken who desperately wants a horse of his own. Unfortunately, he's a dreamy sort of boy, constantly leaving chores undone, and failing in school. Plus he has an older brother, who is the spitting image of his Dad, and who does everything right.

His father doesn't want Ken to have a horse until he straightens out. His mother, Nell argues that Ken needs a horse in order to develop a sense of responsibility. After an incident where Ken almost stampedes his father's entire herd of horses over a cliff, Rob finally gives in and tells Ken to choose a horse of his own from the Goose Bar's yearlings and two-year-olds.

Of course, Ken chooses the most unsuitable filly of all: a wild little sorrel who embeds herself in a barbed-wire fence when she is finally cornered. Now Ken has the responsibility of caring for an injured filly who needs all of his love and attention. It doesn't quite work out the way his father had hoped, but Ken and the filly, Flicka become so entwined in each other's hearts that they will grow up together or not at all.

I'm fonder of the second book in the trilogy, "Thunderhead," but in all three of her Wyoming books Mary O'Hara gives us all the glory and heartache of running a spread during the Great American Depression. She lets us enter into the wonderful, but fragile relationship between horse and human. As Thomas McGuane puts it in one of his essays, "Horses occupy a special place because they require so much care, and because they are curiously fragile, possessing the prey species' excessive faith in the value of flight." This is the very kernel of Ken's coming-of-age story and his relationship with Flicka.

I have had this book for so long, I can't remember the first time I read it or who gave it to me! It's a wonderful (if, perhaps, a bit dated) look at life on a Wyoming ranch in the earlier part of the 20th century. I highly recommend it, as well as Thunderhead and Green Grass of Wyoming to anyone who loves to read about ranch life, horses, or who just appreciates a well-written work of fiction!
